First Legends Arceus Shiny?

A male Combee. I had recently obtained the Wyrdeer ride and was up exploring the Heartwood while taking a break from looking for Eevee. I noticed a cave that lead me to the Grueling Grove, and while trying to run away from the Alpha Heracross I heard the shiny sparkles. I actually had to save and reset once because I just couldn't find the shiny. While looking at the Combee, I thought maybe one of them looked a bit more orange, so I walked up to it. Bam, shiny Combee.
 
In a more recent playthrough my first shiny in that file was a shiny Alpha Snorlax (again, discounting the free shiny Ponyta). Full odds and completely at random (I was heading to Ramanos Island to see if I could find a Combee for that stupid side-quest where you have to catch three different Combee from three different areas, especially since finding a Combee on said island is a random drops quest due to it only being available in shaking trees). The big blubber boy took some effort to catch but in the end I made that alpha meatlug mine.
 
Saw a shiny Starly almost immediately after entering the Obsidian Fieldlands for the first time, was SO stoked to start the game with a shiny but it flew away before I could throw a ball :bulbaFacepalm:

Other than Ponyta, I found a Graveler in the noble Arcanine’s area, then about a dozen more through various mass outbreaks, although my success rate with finding them at all has been a lot lower than I’d like.

Oof. Has never happened to me but happened to one of my friends and he was soooo sad. :(
 
Mine was a Kricketot of all things. I think this happened as a result of perfecting its Pokédex entry.
 
Both my first and second shiny was a Buizel. Was just riding around on Braviary and heard the sparkle and freaked out trying to find where it came from.
